PREVIEW: Film Score Fest Screenings (MNKino)

by Twin Cities Arts Reader -

A still from one of the featured films in tonight’s Film Score Fest, taking place at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul.

The present heatwave broke overnight, but MNKino is looking to heat things up this afternoon and evening with its Film Score Fest. The annual event, held at the Science Museum in St. Paul, pairs short films with soundtracks performed by a live orchestra. The event sells out every year; this year, the festival’s burgeoning popularity has led to a second screening session, of submissions that will play without the live orchestra (e.g., if the soundtrack was too difficult to perform in the allotted rehearsal time, or for reasons of variety). 

This year’s Film Score Fest will be unveiled to the public in two segments: a free 4:30 PM screening of films with pre-recorded soundtracks (usually computer MIDI renders), and a 7 PM screening of films with live orchestra. Although pre-sale tickets for the 7 PM screening have sold out, 80 tickets ($10 suggested donation) will be available for sale at the door.
